This must be a follow-up to yesterday's rant about audios and videos that keep jabbering on, never quite delivering the promised information. Today I'm ranting about annoying newsletters... Do you subscribe to a variety of newsletters? I do. And I'm thinking about dropping some of them. While the...

When the speaker is your child, your sibling, your spouse, or your friend, you can gently interrupt a rambling story and ask them to get to the point! You can't do that when you're listening to a recorded presentation. There's an old adage about how to give a speech or write an informative pape...

When you think of a soup kitchen, you probably think of homeless people. That's what I thought until I got involved as a volunteer at the Priest River Senior Center Monday Soup Kitchen. While I've not heard of anyone living on the streets here, the Soup Kitchen does cater to people who are down o...

The big chain stores are filling up with all kinds of trinkets and junk from other countries - all attractively displayed to entice us to part with our dollars.

Today I came across a blog post listing things to do and not to do when hosting an open house. They were all good suggestions, until I got to the one about installing Glade Plug-ins throughout the house. No, no, no!!! Please - hold the perfume! Hold the chemicals! Even scented candles can send pe...

Remember the etch-a-sketch? If you have children or grand-children you might have one in your house right now. For those who don't know... this toy lets you draw or write, then you can turn it upside down and shake it to erase everything and start over. Sometimes, that's just what we need to do w...

How many of us are glued to the TV tonight? I know my neighbor is - and I expect he's been there all day since he didn't come by for his usual 5 p.m. visit. I can't do it - too much talk and speculation. But I'll go take a look now and then, and may check into DickMorris.com to see what he's sayi...

Even though I've read the reasons for the time change, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. In the winter, people either go to work or come home in the dark. No matter how you slice it, there are only so many hours of daylight in a day, so...? Meanwhile, I got up too early yesterday and by eveni...
